(2) Slip lower puller clamp up on the puller rod and off the tapered seat. Cock the clamp so it will slide down

through the liner. The clamp will drop back on the tapered seat after it clears the bottom of the liner. Then

slide the upper puller clamp down against top edge of the liner.

(3) With tool in place, refer to figure 3-37 and strike the upset head on the upper end of the puller rod a sharp

blow with the puller weight, thus releasing the liner.

(4) Remove tool from liner. Then remove liner from block.

(5) Remove liner insert and shims (if used) from the counterbore in the block.

(6) Tag liner, insert, and shims.

NOTE

If tool J1918-02 is unavailable, tap liner out with a hardwood block and hammer.

b. Cleaning.

(1) Clean the liner with clean fuel oil (item 9, Appendix C).

(2) Wipe off excess fuel oil and allow liner to dry.

c. Inspection.

(1) Examine outside diameter of liner for fretting. Fretting is the result of a slight movement of the liner in the block

bore during engine operation, which causes material from the block to adhere to the liner. These metal particles

may be removed from the surface of liner with a coarse, flat stone.
